Katy Perry's Dark Horse Video Angers Muslims, Seen as Blasphemy

[big_dog]

Katy Perry has come under fire from Muslims worldwide for an act in her latest music video 'Dark Horse.' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/25/katy-perry-dark-horse-muslims-allah_n_4853894.html

[get the red out]

1. I don't listen to her music

But this whole blasphemy screeching should be a big yawn. I just don't care if an artist offends someone's religion. In fact, more power to them.

4. its ironic since katy started as an x-tian artist

[Bluenorthwest]

2. If you take a look at religion today, blasphemy is not only a selling point it is a public

service.

3. I'm sure they'll live. Might be touch and go.

I really don't get why anyone cares. Religious symbols are defaced all of the time, and yet a Katy Perry music video is singled out for it?

5. ...

7. Ahh, I adore Stephen Fry

Great actor and smart as heck...

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. He really is!

10. i love fry and laurie, very cutting and clever.

[LuvNewcastle]

6. Some people see blasphemy everywhere.

The world would be a much better place if people concentrated on what they themselves do rather than what everyone else is doing. I'm sure Katy isn't losing any sleep over their outrage.

8. They will be okay in the morning...Even spamming YouTube Comments LOL

1:15 into the video the man has a goldchain with arabic word allah, which is a religious word used in islam for god, or a more correct term it means a single diety. it is burned hence showing hate for islam

Dont mix religion or any other topics with sexually explicit videoclips !
and yes it does annoy us muslims to see a topless man wearing a necklace with gods name getting burnt or cursed whatever she done there !
and to all you people laughing down there ,, this clip will be down soon so enjoy it for the next few hours .

I am an Christian and my best friend is a Muslim (He is from Kosovo) and I can totally see why he despises this video, cause it's not cool at all. But please don't hate on Christians, although you didn't see it in this video, they are still out to get Christians too...

STOP AND THINK.

Thousands of people across the world are signing petitions to get this video removed due to a man wearing countless pieces of jewellery and who disintegrates; one of the pieces of jewellery is a necklace with the word ‘Allah’ upon it.

Instead of fighting so hard for something which is so small, and will have no bearing on everyday life for billions, how about we focus our energies to the serious issues facing us as a species across the globe today, like hunger or disease.

Katy has not outright slated Muslims or their religion, nor made a specific attack on such groups with this video, as much art has done in the past, so it seems a little unjust for a call to remove this artist’s video. Do you not think?

16. It got me to actually watch a Katy Perry video.

It's a Miracle!

[aikoaiko]

11. Think what would have happened had she kissed a Muslim girl? Oy vey!

Katy is alright by me. The way Firework helped empower unhappy kids puts her way ahead of the curve.

[Aerows]

12. I'll add to the blasphemy, simply because it is silly to call it that.

[Gravitycollapse]

13. That video is definitely offensive and blasphemous.

But mostly because both the song and the video are so fucking terrible.

[Aerows]

15. The one I linked

Is infinitely better.

[Egalitarian Thug]

14. When I want the opinion of a talent-free spawn of parasites, I'll ask Paris. n/t

[cthulu2016]

17. Hmmm... I find that I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks is blasphemy
